REP REVOCATION OF ORDER FOR TROOPS TO NICARAGUA MARINES Decision Reached by President Taft Yesterday Evening After an All Day Telegraphic Correspondence With Departments AMERICAN INTERESTS BELIEVED TO BE SAFE The Chief Fear Now Is That the Movement Which Is Rapidly Succeeding Will Spread All Over Central America associated press dispatch OX BOARD PRESIDENT TAFT'S TRAIN, ROCHESTER, Aug. 28. President Tatt tonight rewcinde i 1m twe5ve-h ur eld order directing the immediate- despatch from Panai;i to Nieaiau?. of the Tenth uifantry. From his private oar mi the R. .'heater yards the president wired to .he acting secetary of war to recaii the order. A sufficient " orce of marine, the president said tonight, would be in Managua, the Nicaraguan capital, and Corinto, its principal seap ut early next week to insure the safety of American lives and property. The president's action tonight came at the close of a day spent largely in reading telegrams from the state, war and navy department heads at Washington. The president expressed tonight to friends on the car his belief that there would be more than 2000 United States marines on Nicaraguan soil by Tuesday. A long telegram tonight from the commander of the United States gunboat Annapolis in Nicaraguan waters said the insurgent leaders had given assurances that they would open lines of communication from Corinto to Managua. The Nicaraguan government has asked assistance from the United States and stands ready to aid in opening the railway to the coast from the capital. The message to the president said the rebels possess five locomotives and the government five. All ten of these may be put at the disposal of the United States if necessary. The recall order for the dispatch of the Tenth infantry followed the receipt of this telegram. The president did not conceal his anxiety tonight over the conditions in Central America. In Managua, Corinto and other towns the situation is not especially dangerous to Americans, but in other parts of the country, pillaging of all sorts has been going on. The people of Nicaragua, the president is informed, are suffering untold horrors: Americans are suffering with them in many instances.To friends tonight Mr. Taft said that if the senate had agreed to the proposed treaty with Nicaragua, which he advocated on his long trip last fall, the misery existing today would not have arisen. Under that treaty the United States, he said, would have administered the customs of Nicaragua and since the customs are about the country's only source of revenue there would have been little to attract the revolutionists who would not care to attack the United States. During the clay the president received several long messages from Acting Secretary of State Wilson. His order to the Tenth infantry to advance to Nicaragua was issued at Beverly just before he left for Columbus, Ohio, where he speaks tomorrow. Messages from Wilson were received at Albany, N. Y. and other points east of Rochester, and telegrams from the navy department also kept coming to Taft's private car. Neither state nor navy department wished to see United States troops sent into Nicaragua. The custom in similar cases has been to lard marines. The president said today that while sending a regiment of infantry would not be an act of war, he would prefer to use the marines if an available force could be found quickly. His telegrams to Washington were evidently fruitful, for he was of the opinion tonight that the navy department had found enough marines to look after every American and all American property that might be endangered. If he finds the situation critical later he will not hesitate to use the army. FEAR IT WILL SPREAD Revolution Likely to Envelope Central America All WASHINGTON, Aug. 28. Orave concern over the situation in Nicaragua was expressed at the state de partment today. A single dispatch direct from Nicaragua told of a seri ous situation at Matagalpas. The dis patch sent by 12." Americans, told of the killing of a German named Neil- son, and appealed to the state department for immediate protection. A lack of further dispatches from Nica ragua was the source of further anxiety. Pompted by an order for sending infantry to Nicaragua, and later, re voked. the revolutionary junta here sought to open negotiations with the state department with the object of ending hostilities. Angel Ugarte, of Junta, sought an Interview with Wil iUm-TS. yjec hi eOLabediyls LoaJiaUing health and the infirmities of WILL BE ENOUGH partmeiit, so as to submit a proposition for the withdrawal of the American troops and the submission of the issues of the revolution to election. Doyle declined to receive Ugarte officially, and advised him to submit his proposals through Senor Cas-trillo, the Nicaraguan minister. A general Central American outbreak as a result of the Nicaraguan situation entered into the fears of the 'department tonight. A belated dispatch from Minister Weitzel refers to an "eruption of refugees of the late Zelayan regime from Honduras into Nicaragua." This is taken by the department to presage the widening of revolutionary operations, which might become general in Central America. With the arival of the Tenth regiment and marines now on the way from the United States, those actually landed in Nicaragua and on warships available, the landing will be increased by about odOO. MARINES ON THE JOB Two Hundred Force Their Way Through Hostile Territory CORINTO, Aug. 28. Commander Warden J. Terlume with a force of 200 American sailors and marines from the gunboat Annapolis and the collier Justin today forced their way through the territory controlled by the revolutionists to Leon, a town midway between the Pacifc coast and Lake Managua, where the liberals lose in arms on August 19, in the night and massacred the sleeping soldiers of the garrison. The Americans found the liberals I'ostile to their advance and it became necessary for Commander Ter-hune to threaten to attack Leon before the insurgents would allow tlv train bearing his detachment to enter the town. Rioting had subsided and the Americans found the city resum ing a normal appearance. After a conference with the libera! leaders Commander Terhune withdrew his force from the city, a hundred marines going to Managua and the rest of the detachment to Corinto. Corinto has been designated as a place of refuge for foreigners residing in the surrounding country. An armed force from the gunloat Annapolis is constantly patrolling the streets. Six guns have been takea from the warship and mounted on flat cars for the defense of the city. The United States gunlxat Den ver, with reinforcements of marines and bluejackets numbering S50 arrived here. The cruiser California with a further detachment of marines is expected here tomorrow. The revolutionaries control Chin- nndega, a city of 12.000 and the capital of the department of the same rime. It is the desire of the rebels to capture Corinto, which is Chin- udega's port. All attempts of the in surgents to caoture this seaport so far have been prevented by armed force from the Annapolis. Managua is the only large city in the northern department with the exception of Corinto to remain under control of the government forces. AMERICAN INTERESTS All of Them Represented by Two Concerns. NEW YORK, Aug. 2S. American interests in Nicaragua are almost wholly represented by J. and W. Seligman and company, and Brown Prothers and company, who several ars ago received a charter to establish in that country a national bank in which some government was to be a large stockholder. These bankers also offered to loan Nicaragua $15,000,000, subject to the ap proval of the Nicaraguan congress nnd the congress of the United States. The latter withheld its approval whereupon the bankers made a temporary loan of $1. ".00,000 to meet Nicaragua's more pressing needs. For this loan the bankers received as a part of the collateral, the righ? to collect customs at all Nicaraguan ports, naming their own representatives.' Shortly after the present revolution broke out it was discovered that some $20,000,000 of Nicaraguan paper money, representing by reason of its debased standard, perhaps $1,-000.000 of United States currency had been issued, presumably by revolutionists, without the knowledge of the government. Many claims of various characters are pending agairst Nicaragua, the largest being that of an English banking syndicate for about $15,000,-000. Other claims include damages arising to mining, industrial and railroad concessions, most of which, it is understood, have been revoked bv the general now commanding the revolutionary forces. o PERKINS WILL RETIRE Political Life of California Senator is Almost Past associated press dispatch SAN FRANCISCO.

Interest in the investigation of an alleged conspiracy by mill officials to secrete dynamite in Lawrence during the general strike there last winter, centered today in a report to the Suffolk county grand jury which is expected in a short time. Opinion differs as to whether the investigation influenced Ernest W. Pittman, of Andover, a prominent ccntractor, to commit suicide vester-day.Pittman who erected two large mills in Lawrence was questioned recently by District Attorney Pel-letier regarding any knowledge he might have had of the distribution of dynamite in that city. o AD WOLGAST, HORSEMEN Prepared to Take Part in County Fairs.

Auley, an aviator, flew from Hendon, England, to Hardelot. near Boulogne. France in three hours and five minutes. He carried as a ipassenger in his biplane. Miss Mary Davis. FOXY PLAY OF Left Mine Valuation Undisturbed for State Tax Rate But Reduced It for County Assessment; a Mixed Situation Charles R. Rowe of the state board of equalization returned yesterday morning from Cochise county, where he went to investigate the recent proceedings of the Iward of supervisors in lowering the valuation of mines for purposes of taxation, after the fixing of the state rate by the state board. His mission w.as to secure the exact data for the use of the attorney general in whatever proceedings he might take to settle the controversy. Mr. Howe says he found a situation that in one respect had not been understood here. The board has allowed the state board's valuation to remain for the collection of the state tax, but has lowered the valuation for the as sessing of countv taxes. The result of that action is that as a matter of revenue for this year, the state will secure all it levied for and has no further interest in the proceedings in that county. But there is another side to the case, it is pointed out and that is the principle involved, both as a principle ami because of Its possible effect if such a precedent is allowed to stand. In the first place it is alleged to be unfair. If the state's valuation was right, the county is being deprived of revenues due it. If the county valuation is the right one the mine owners are being robbed by the state. The fact that thev might be willing to let it go at that does not relieve the injustice of it. If the precedent is established that the county can place any valuation it chooses on mines it can do so on any other property and cut its county taxes down whenever or wherever it pleases. the state board having no equalizing power except as to the state tax. More over if several counties reduce valua tions on property of one or more class es it is hard to keep the valuations tip to the ideas of the state board. Former assessments will be used to keep the valuations down. Again, the Cochise board it is s.nid act ed after a conference with the Yavapai board as to valuations it was making on that class of property, nd attempted to act somewhat in harmony in fixing its own valuations. That is clearly the work of equalizing as between coun ties, which the law recognizes as a function of the state board only. The county board, officially, is not sup posed to know the valuation of any thing in any other county, in returning its own property. Whether anything is done or not the difference in the state's portion of thi? rear's revenue will not be so very great for it will in any event collect in Co chise and Yavapai reduced her valua tion only about a million dollars, which on a valuation of 140 millions will not be particutarlv disastrous for one year The attorney general has not yet indicated what action he will take in the KANSAS PLAN PROGRESSIVES Way Is Pointed Out by Which the Taft Electors May Find Places on the Official Sunflower State Ballot associated press dispatch TOPKKA, Aug. 2S. J. N. Dolley, chairman of the state republican committee, issued a statement today offering the Taft men a chance to j.et Taft presidential electors on tin- ballot ill the independent column lliu plan is to name eight Taft electois nl two Roosevelt electois by peti tion, and place them in the inde pendent column.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2S. American interests in Nicaragua are almost wholly represented by J. and W. Seligman and company, and Brown Prothers and company, who several ars ago received a charter to establish in that country a national bank in which some government was to be a large stockholder. These bankers also offered to loan Nicaragua $15,000,000, subject to the ap proval of the Nicaraguan congress nnd the congress of the United States. The latter withheld its approval whereupon the bankers made a temporary loan of $1. ".00,000 to meet Nicaragua's more pressing needs. For this loan the bankers received as a part of the collateral, the righ? to collect customs at all Nicaraguan ports, naming their own representatives.' Shortly after the present revolution broke out it was discovered that some $20,000,000 of Nicaraguan paper money, representing by reason of its debased standard, perhaps $1,-000.000 of United States currency had been issued, presumably by revolutionists, without the knowledge of the government. Many claims of various characters are pending agairst Nicaragua, the largest being that of an English banking syndicate for about $15,000,-000. Other claims include damages arising to mining, industrial and railroad concessions, most of which, it is understood, have been revoked bv the general now commanding the revolutionary forces. o PERKINS WILL RETIRE Political Life of California Senator is Almost Past associated press dispatch SAN FRANCISCO.

FOXY PLAY OF Left Mine Valuation Undisturbed for State Tax Rate But Reduced It for County Assessment; a Mixed Situation Charles R. Rowe of the state board of equalization returned yesterday morning from Cochise county, where he went to investigate the recent proceedings of the Iward of supervisors in lowering the valuation of mines for purposes of taxation, after the fixing of the state rate by the state board. His mission w.as to secure the exact data for the use of the attorney general in whatever proceedings he might take to settle the controversy. Mr. Howe says he found a situation that in one respect had not been understood here. The board has allowed the state board's valuation to remain for the collection of the state tax, but has lowered the valuation for the as sessing of countv taxes. The result of that action is that as a matter of revenue for this year, the state will secure all it levied for and has no further interest in the proceedings in that county. But there is another side to the case, it is pointed out and that is the principle involved, both as a principle ami because of Its possible effect if such a precedent is allowed to stand. In the first place it is alleged to be unfair. If the state's valuation was right, the county is being deprived of revenues due it. If the county valuation is the right one the mine owners are being robbed by the state. The fact that thev might be willing to let it go at that does not relieve the injustice of it. If the precedent is established that the county can place any valuation it chooses on mines it can do so on any other property and cut its county taxes down whenever or wherever it pleases. the state board having no equalizing power except as to the state tax. More over if several counties reduce valua tions on property of one or more class es it is hard to keep the valuations tip to the ideas of the state board. Former assessments will be used to keep the valuations down. Again, the Cochise board it is s.nid act ed after a conference with the Yavapai board as to valuations it was making on that class of property, nd attempted to act somewhat in harmony in fixing its own valuations. That is clearly the work of equalizing as between coun ties, which the law recognizes as a function of the state board only. The county board, officially, is not sup posed to know the valuation of any thing in any other county, in returning its own property. Whether anything is done or not the difference in the state's portion of thi? rear's revenue will not be so very great for it will in any event collect in Co chise and Yavapai reduced her valua tion only about a million dollars, which on a valuation of 140 millions will not be particutarlv disastrous for one year The attorney general has not yet indicated what action he will take in the KANSAS PLAN PROGRESSIVES Way Is Pointed Out by Which the Taft Electors May Find Places on the Official Sunflower State Ballot associated press dispatch TOPKKA, Aug. 2S.
